#1 Pole Barn Repairs, Additions, and Modifications Kendrick Idaho Area - 5-Star Rated

Pole Barn Repairs, Options & Additions – Kendrick

Kendrick sits just up the Potlatch River from Juliaetta along Highway 3 and Highway 99, and many older barns on the benches and flats above town are worth repairing and upgrading instead of replacing. We handle repairs, lean-to additions, lofts or mezzanines, interior build-outs, door and window upgrades, and full insulation + concrete improvements – built for the hills, river weather, and snow between Kendrick, Juliaetta, Troy, Deary, and north toward Moscow.

From re-sheeting metal to post and truss fixes, from horse stalls and tack rooms to workshop finishes with power and heat, we upgrade barns on small acreages above town, along Southwick Road, and out toward Troy on Highway 99. If you want more covered space, better storage, or a tighter envelope, we will design it, frame it, and finish it clean – code-compliant and tailored to your Kendrick site.

Pole Building Repairs (Fix it right, make it last)

Structural & Framing

• Sistering or repairing rotted or heaved posts, adding uplift anchors, straightening bowed walls on barns that have seen decades of canyon wind
• Truss and purlin reinforcement, girt replacement, hardware upgrades for snow and wind loads above the Potlatch River

Roof, Siding & Weatherproofing

• Leak tracing and repair, re screw and re seal metal panels, ridge cap and flashing replacement on buildings visible from Highway 3 or the river bottom
• Full or partial re-sheeting of metal siding or roofing with matching trim and closures
• Condensation control with ventilation, vapor barriers, and drip control upgrades to manage river humidity and temperature swings

Pole Building Openings & Access

• Overhead or roll up garage door replacement, high lift conversions, man door swaps sized for equipment and trailers that run up and down Highway 3 and 99
• Window replacement for light and ventilation, plus new framed openings where needed

Slab & Drainage

• Crack or settlement remediation, saw cut and repour sections, apron additions, trench drains for hillside and bench sites around Kendrick
• Gutters and downspouts with site water management to keep interiors dry when the Potlatch valley is saturated

Storm or Snow Damage

• Post event inspections, snow load damage assessment, emergency dry in, and rebuild plans for barns in and above Kendrick

Goal: bring the building back to square, dry, and tight – then make it better than before.

Popular Pole Building Additions (More space, more function)

Lean-tos & Overhangs

Open or enclosed lean-to additions for covered parking off narrow hilltop driveways, hay and equipment storage near the tree lines, or outdoor work areas overlooking the Potlatch valley. We match eave height and panel profile so the addition looks intentional.

Lofts & Mezzanines

Create lofted storage or a partial second level for hay, seasonal gear, or small business inventory so your main bays stay clear. Helpful on smaller acreages and bench properties where flat ground is limited.

Interior Build-Outs

• Horse barns and stables: stalls, aisle layout, tack rooms, wash bays, rubber matting
• Workshops: insulated walls and ceilings, 120 or 240V power, task lighting, compressor runs for trades and home based businesses
• Garage + shop combos: partition walls, fire separation where required, organized storage for tools and toys
• Barndominium prep: interior framing, rough ins, envelope upgrades for future living or office space tied to the barn

Door & Window Upgrades

Taller RV or boat doors, drive through bays, added man doors, skylights, or additional windows for daylight and views over the river valley.

Concrete & Floors

Slabs, thickened edges, footings, interior pads, drains, and aprons – poured with slope, access, and drainage in mind for canyon and bench topography. Concrete work can be bundled with your Kendrick project.

Exterior Finishes

Metal siding and roofing in hardy colors is our standard. For a more finished look from town or the main access road, we can add LP SmartSide or fiber cement wainscoting and trim – we skip vinyl.

Comfort & Protection

• Insulation with spray foam, batt, or hybrid systems, proper air sealing, and ventilation for year round use
• Snow guards, gutters, and condensation control to keep interiors dry and usable through Kendrick winters

Use-Case Ideas (Mix & match to fit your property)

• Equipment and storage barns for tractors, implements, and side by sides that work canyon and bench ground
• Multi bay garages for pickups, work trucks, and toys
• Workshops with heat, power, and a finished slab for repair work and fabrication
• Agricultural use – small livestock shelters, hay storage, and machine sheds above the Potlatch River
• Barndominiums or shouses with framed interiors and insulation ready shells
• RV or boat storage for rigs headed to the Clearwater and Snake
• Commercial builds – small shop or warehouse style buildings near Kendrick
• Lofted pole barns for built in attic storage
• Horse barns or stables with stall packages and wash bays
• Garage + apartment combos with ADU space above or beside the bays
• Insulated buildings with vapor barriers and finished interiors
• Custom roofing or siding colors, wainscoting, and trim packages
• Permitting and site prep – we help coordinate Latah County steps for hill and canyon sites

What are some common Pole Barn Questions We Hear from local Kendrick residents?

Can you add a lean-to or overhang to my existing pole barn?

Yes – lean-to additions are a common way to add covered space on Kendrick properties that already have a main barn but need more room for equipment and hay.

How do you fix rotted posts at the base?

We expose the damage, sister or replace posts, add uplift anchors, and bring the wall back to plumb before closing with proper flashing and grade fixes suited to local soils.

Can you convert part of my pole barn into living space or a barndominium?

We can frame interiors, improve insulation and air sealing, and plan openings so you have a clear path toward future living, office, or shop space.

Do you pour slabs and interior pads?

Yes – slabs, footings, and interior pads can be included so doors, drains, and equipment bases line up with your drives and grade changes.

Will this hold up to Kendrick winters?

We design and retrofit for snow load and wind using engineered components, proper fasteners, closures, and ventilation sized for conditions in and around Kendrick.
